Hangover at Spoke N Slurred ( Daniel Watson )

Sunday, May 28 at 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Brick City Bar
73 Grenfell Street, Adelaide

After the mass-madness of ‘Too Stubborn To Die’ join us for the HANGOVER.

One crusty evening of hangovers and hair-of-the-dog.

Featuring flash fiction and short fiction from Paroxysm Press publisher DANIEL WATSON.

It’s our regular Spoke N Slurred (now at The Brick City Bar). And hey – not everyone can make it to Jive on Saturday night. OR see both gigs in a weekend of wild. Be inspired by Saturday night then join us here on the open mic and show us what you’ve got.

Jive

181 Hindley Street, Adelaide

$10, 18+

 

Since 1998 Paroxysm Press has been hammering out the words in print and on the mic.

There have been more authors and artists than we can count – many no longer with us on this big, beautiful brewery we call Earth.

Now witness everyone from old schoolers (including two ’98 originals) right up to a crop of cocky ‘kids’ who’ve been killing it on the mic around Adelaide in recent years.
